Hello, those chicks are cute, although I have been with chickens for most of my life I am not extremely experienced, we have had this happen before. Your chicks have Spraddle Leg. We didn't do anything, when this happened, it actually just fixed it itself. Do you have shavings or paper towels/newspaper where you are keeping them? Are they overcrowded? Maybe an injury in the leg/toes? Were they weak when they hatched?

Thank you very much for your comments I do have wood shavings. They are not over crowded but i think they kept falling in the feeding ball which made them like this.

Ok- nice - not that they are falling down just the other stuff you have is good. Please keep an update! I would see if you can get a different feeding ball.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your comment. I did get them a different feeding bowl. The new ones much smaller so now i think their fine. Also they have started to stand on their feet better
